The TemnIe at RubaStiS.

Travellers in Egypt need no longer go up
the Nile in order to catch glimpse OF temple
ruins on grand scale. The site OF the latest
excavation and discovery of the Exploration
Fund-the great temple at Bupas aL;
short distance from the railway at Zagazig,
between Ismailia and Cairo, and not very lar
from the battlefield of TEX el-Keblr, Dr.:
Naville. the discoverer of the temple, hopes
to have its entire area cleared from enc l 10
end by next season. The length OF t tle
building is estimated at 800 feet from the
gateway at the back of the temple, with an
average width of $50 feet. These dimensions

I've seen the same Old town again,
The home where first my mother smiled.
The same-yet not the same-as when
1t knew me rs happy child.
That home to fond hearts firmly wed
By pleasant memories Of old
OF summer meads, with berries red,
OF autumn fields, with shocks ofgold
OF wayside NAPLES, which still weave
Their shadows broad Of that soft light
Which, glinting or each tirchen leaf,
Sits down and makes the lands cape bright,
There ferns in woodland shades abound
There ancient oaks and hemlocks stand
There stately frs adOrn the ground,
and pines are monarchs Of the land.
When genial airs awake the flowers,
Up peeps the same blnc violet
The golden rod, through su rs and shove rs
Just as of old--is golden yet.
Tue rose and lilacs shed perfume
Unstinted as in early days,
And buttercups and asters bloom
Beside the quiet country ways
To see that cherished spot become
Repeoplai as twas Of yore,
And be a lwcller in tnat home
Id be n child--a child once more.
\ ca, twice chiid-to Quaif anew
Delicious draughts from. that cool well!
And roam the tempting orchard through,
In autumn, where the apple fell.
TO hear, beneath the birsl-haunted skies,
The tall pines tnurrnur Of the sea,
And fondjy dream that angel eyes,
Through some blue rift look down ON me.
But where are they, who lent a charm
TO all that in those prospects lay?
Who gave brisk life to shop an(1 farm,
10 mill and woodunfl-where are they?
Go-seek their places Of repose,
Those silent cities Of the dead,
Eurth's wealth to tilenl--its joys and woes.

From common things and locked within
